🛑 Illgraben flash flood, debris flow, Murgang, Schlammlawine

Illgraben 8.8.2018 debris flow.
WARNING: Do not go under the bridge ! Water can rise up to the bridge!
You need to have an escape plan. You need to have proper equipment.
THIS LOCATION IS NOT SAFE. YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER !!
Be aware of LIGHTNING, especial on the bridge !
The side walls may COLLAPSE, there is no proper ground to stand on !
A second or third (or any following) wave is may HIGHER than the first one.

[@Hutch5321]

Really amazing video! My hat's off to the civil engineering team that tries to manage that stuff!

[@TalRohan]

weirdly the falls actually slow down the flow by dropping it vertically to a stop, then making it run back on itself

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

That concrete plant, up the way there, sure knows how to make a ton of the stuff, though I think the aggregate they’re using is too big. 😁

[@warphonesS22]

Insane! Those Waves at the end were nuts! I bet it's so loud you can't hear yourself think.

ive seen similar in far north queensland when a cyclone hit suddenly... yeah i had prewarning but decided to go out and help someone on the other side of the river...... its....just ....so fast happening you have no time to think properly.... thanks for uploading.... may it help someone someday

Pieces of the mountain sluicing down the mountain. I liked the smooth rounded boulder visible on the left side of the sluice before the flood. It took a lot of rollin' and tumblin' to polish that big rock.

[@AcuraLvR82]

Pretty awesome up close. But I would be worried about a second, higher wave coming on top the first and wiping you out. From where you are standing you can tell the level of flow can get much higher!

[@BlackLabel544]

I wonder how big is the mixer. It seems though that they’re making different mixes up the hills. The first mix was hard, and the ratio of stones in the mix is very high. The last mix was probably a flush, as it contains more 💦 and sand. No big stones 🤔

[@arrianranger5800]

Where does all that mud end up? How long does the flow last? Fantastic Video. Thank you

[@jesser5127]

At 4:17, I thought that was a critter running in my attic or on the roof. It is apparently the sound of the wind or the boulders falling. What's the siren for? Is there a sensor at a point upstream that detects water/debris flow? Or does it do that when it is about to rain heavily?

[@viperus1234]

There are multiple radar sensors detecting the change in flowspeed and riverbed hights, that trigger (up in the mountain) the alarm signal all along the riverbed, so you have time to leave the area. Rainsensors are also in place.. There was only one critter around, and that was me breathing heavy with shaking hands :) wind I gues ..

if so much mud n rock move downslope each year,..whats up slope?..an ever growing valley,or a shrinking mountain?...or are they Swiss enough to take the material back up the mountain each year?..thanks for posting this beautiful earth act.

Some of those boulders were a big as SUVs. If you got caught in that its curtains

[@viperus1234]

stoned again 😆

[@josephastier7421]

The flow is so dense you can see white puffs of water vapor due to compressed air formed under the falls being released at the surface.

[@viperus1234]

Tought of these white puffs, that they are kind of dust from the kolliding boulders ... :)

[@josephastier7421]

@@viperus1234 The ones I'm thinking about are bubbles of air, compressed by the heavy flow, that then rise through the mud and burst at the surface. When they burst into 1 atmosphere pressure, they decompress and you can see the water vapor. There are certain variables in play, in some videos it is really obvious and in others it is hard to see.

[@santeebandit3246]

How long would this typically run like this after a storm? Half hour? Hours?

[@viperus1234]

half hour, depends on the weather situation, how much rain comes in

[@tag7100]

If you find this place on Google Earth (Leuk, Switzerland), you can see how all the sludge and rocks has built up in the river just downstream from this video.

[@viperus1234]

Yes, the washout is used for building things, to the west you see a "gravel company" - the riverbed is changing very quickly. Snow melting in summer, heavy rainfall and its washed out ..

Wonder what the concentration of debris to water is in there.

[@viperus1234]

concentration is lowest at top of wave, because of boulder size :) therefore the speed is the highest on top, therefor the top is at front :)

[@dannymccune1888]

I think if I was there in person, I would definitely not be constipated. Up to the 1990's I only ever saw two rock/debris flows on film - one was at some distance, the other was shot by moonlight. Now there are probably hundreds of them on KZbin. If you search for "huayco Chosica" you will see some scary ones in Peru.

[@thadwicksmith8752]

Why is the flow so thick and muddy, and cement-like Also, why does it seem to come in waves

[@dumbassdriversofdenver9113]

Likely due to the difference in time it takes for any tributaries to start pouring into the main flow. Maybe a difference in the viscosity? You can see it thinner and thinner as the flow continues.

[@swedenpaul11]
